Now Really. Who Would Fight for Obama?
A commenter in Side-Lines: Bush is Back: Tanned, Rested, and Ready says, "My fear is that this new bellicosity signals an impending war to bail us out of our economic troubles. After all, it worked for FDR." Well, it did work for FDR in a way, but I don't think the cowardly lion president could inspire that sort of dedication by himself. He'd have to let a city be blown up and then he'd have to be smart enough to get out of the way. Absent both those things I don't see a lot of people ready to line up behind this non-leader. He's not fit to saddle George W. Bush's horse, shine FDR's shoes, take dictation from John Kennedy, be allowed to bring a glass of water to Ronald Reagan, or make dates for Bill Clinton or Tiger Wood. Say what you will in favor of Barack Obama but you can't tell me you're getting the "I'd follow him through the gates of Hell" vibe, are you?

Your Say
Bringing hundreds of Gitmo terrorists to Illinois, not all that far from Chicago, cannot be good news for America or Chicago. The Chicago connection to recent arrests of terror suspects is worrisome, and there are already large muslim communities in the city & suburbs where those with jihad on their minds could blend in and disappear. Until the time was right. Having another 911 in Obama's adopted hometown would be the perfect backdrop for an Obama call to war.

Oh, that one's gonna smart. Or it would, if he had any clue that people think that way about him.

Obama doesn't need anyone to follow him to the gates of hell. There is plenty of company there, ready, and waiting; and already quite familiar with him.
